    Hello all!

    I am looking for any info on this Magic Lantern slide of Matthew Brady's "Cooper Union" photo of Abraham Lincoln. I know about the photo, so I'm actually interested in the slide itself. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me perhaps an idea of age, where it might have come from and under what circumstances, and if it has any significant value?

    Thank you for any help or information! Lincoln2.jpg Lincoln1.jpg

    Likely not to have any great value as 1913 or later so not contemporary to photograph. And produced by state government agency so likely one of many.

    Here's another Lincoln one from the same set as yours on offer on eBay for $175. You may want to watch the listing to see if it achieves the asking price.
